This week's round features 10 of our favorite emerging and established artists including Avril Lavigne, Joseph, American Football, and so many more. Turn up, tune in, and tune out.

"Tell Me It's Over" - Avril Lavigne

It's a far cry from "Sk8er Boi," but damn, Avril can SING.

Sister Winter B/W Rest - Joseph

Some heavenly harmonies to make the winter feel a little less bitter.

"Silhouettes" - American Football

This first single off of the band's third self-titled album only heightens the expectations for what has yet to come.

"Shelter" - Christinna O

The first commercial release of this accomplished spoken-word poet (and it's a serious vibe, too).

Who's Got The Boom (prod. Lazerbeak and Bionik) - Sophia Eris

Eris exudes the kind of confidence I want to channel in 2019.

"Busy Tone" - Mae Muller

For when he just won't take a hint.

"Light On" - Maggie Rogers

Stripped-back and even more emotional.

Child - Rukhsana Merrise

Stick around 'til the end for standout track "Two Hearts."

Crisis - Phé

Let Phé draw you in with her soulful vocals; stay for the dark, hypnotic vibes.

"Numb" - Charlie Hanson

You'll be feeling anything but numb after listening to this track.
